Research reactors currently rely on thermocouples for accurate temperature measurements in instrumented rigs. However, a lot of irradiations are carried out in lower cost instrumented capsules without instrumentation where thermocouples are not an option. In the latter case calculations or melt wires are used to determine the irradiation temperatur...

The Forschungszentrum Rossendorf (FZR) e. V. is constructing a new large-scale test facility, TOPFLOW, for thermalhydraulic single effect tests. The acronym stands for transient two phase flow test facility. It will mainly be used for the investigation of generic and applied steady state and transient two phase flow phenomena and the development an...
Even within a changed political framework regarding the use of nuclear energy in Germany, reactor safety remains an essential task attended to by a fully committed GRS. However, the requirements and priorities in many fields of work have changed by a course setting to phase out nuclear energy. The years 2002 and 2003 under review here are also to b...
